About Me

I am best described as a dreamer. I love serving and worshiping God. My perfect world involves traveling, trying new things and embarking on new experiences. I love to smile, meet new people, and have deep theological discussions. I love music and singing. I love photography, inspiring quotes and movies that make me think. I love sitting with friends and enjoying the simple things in life together. I love the way God works in and through us in the most amazing and often unexpected ways.
Basically, I'm a not-so-simple girl trying to live a simple life and make the best out of every day.
